Judging from few clips...not worth the effort.I`m pretty sure not worth watching even for free.Easy for me to skip as I am not huge fan on Mr.Chan and he has not made decent movie for very long time

That's the only fight i truly liked out of all the action in the film. Jackie did an impressive job as Mr Han and Jaden was tolerable enough that i didn't picture myself smacking him upside the head as i would Ralph Macchio who i found anoying to a curtain degree, im not a Will Smith to be honest i didn't see for the Smiths i saw because of Jackie but i dont like is the title which threw me off i prefer it to be called the Kung Fu Kid than Karate Kid. I'm happy Jackie showed America that he can find sucess away from Rush Hour and that little Bastard Bret Ratner i hate that guy with a passion he's so anoying makes me want to go all Vegeta on him such a tool to me, now regrading the kick Jaden did ill admit it did look fake to me i didn't feel it should'ev been in there at all period overall Jaden was decent if it's true that he still trains then maybe he might become even better in Part 2.

I've avoided watching the movie as I'm a big fan of the original trilogy. Then again, apart from the title there is no connection. In my opinion Jaden Smith is far too young for the role. I think Never Back Down shares some of the spirit of the original movies.

Like I said I did enjoy this movie, it was a lot better than I thougjht it was going to be except for the title, he didn't learn Karate he learned Kung-Fu!

I agree with you there Never Back Down did share alot of the spirit of the original Karate Kid flims and Never Back Down is even underrated nobody talks about it much.

This was one of my main problems with the film. Good little actor but too much attitude and too young for the character he was playing. Great scenery though. Plus, when watching it, I felt like "I've seen this scenario done before, and better."


The original Karate Kid films are the biz! Forget the dodgy, fake Karate. The chemistry between Ralph and Pat is dynamite. Pat Morita got an Oscar nod for his performance if I remember correctly. The music by Bill Conti, you can't beat it!



Hi Res production stills. Some of them show the beautiful China landscapes.

Just watched this for the first time.

IMO this SO should have been left in. It makes a lot more sense for why the students acted the way they did at the end (gratitude, etc.).

I enjoyed it a LOT more than I thought I would going in. Does it have issues, of course (as does the original...nostalgia can be a bitch). This falls in the "Forbidden Kingdom" for me...good for what it is, and it's intended market (families/kids/etc).

Never Back Down is a very good film in my opinion and the plot is engaging. I also think the fights are well choreographed/edited. I agree that it's underrated.

Jackie was the only reason this film is worth the viewing.
